Topic: alias (color)_internal -> (color)_insides

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10665 is pending approval.

create alias black_internal (26) -> black_insides (160)
create alias purple_internal (165) -> purple_insides (390)
create alias blue_internal (302) -> blue_insides (3338)
create alias green_internal (78) -> green_insides (361)
create alias yellow_internal (14) -> yellow_insides (156)
create alias orange_internal (19) -> orange_insides (118)
create alias red_internal (1) -> red_insides (81)
create alias pink_internal (0) -> pink_insides (79) # duplicate of alias #74076
create alias white_internal (6) -> white_insides (32)

Reason: Both "color_internal" and "color_insides" said what colors internal mucosa have. The difference is that color_internal is supposed to be an internal view while color_insides is allowed to be an external view looking inside (mouth, vagina, etc).
The use of color_internal can be strictly recreated by just combining "color_insides" + "internal".
And color_insides is a lot more used than color_internal.
So color_internal is basically useless and can be aliased to the more general tag.
Also color_internal is sometime misused : used for external view, which was supposed to be only color_insides. Having misuses mean that color_internal can be less reliable than "color_insides" + "internal". Alias to the general term would prevent this.

Example :
blue_insides (not internal) :
post #4835875

blue_insides + internal = blue_internal :
post #163871

If the distinction of the two type of tags is considered important enough to be kept, implications can be made instead of alias.

I was about to suggest implications to internal, but this looks like a better solution.

That would also work, though I can't vote on it for some reason. At least in that thread, I suppose I can put it here.

Still can't vote on it? Did voting on BURs that aren't the top of a thread break?

Votes are tied to the message, not just the presence of a BUR. Still, we should be able to vote on it, I wonder why we cant.

And no, BURs that aren't the first can still be voted on, this is a one-off
